I just added back my Juli@ with unbalanced analog outs to my UD2H system and I'm liking it. My experience says the stock Juli@ digital outs aren't that great with this board, but analog sounds quite good. Or maybe the stock breakout cables are the main problem with digital out. For a while I wanted to avoid a DAC to minimize jitter, and now with a good low voltage board, I'm back to that approach. Nice PRAT, detail, musicality.
I can't compare with the S2L board as I never had one.

Now I tried Juli@ analog in the Atom box and there's a nice improvement over the UD2H, particularly with symbols and acoustic guitar - HF sounds are much more evident in the mix.
I'm starting to prefer the least possible jitter-induced distortion compared to that produced by op-amps, etc. if I have to choose between an external DAC or lower quality sound card. I have a good silver coax cable and a good USB cable and the V-DAC/Pinkie is good, so at least to my ear (brain), there seems to be an inherent advantage to producing analog signals in a very low-power computer, one that's closer to the power needs of a DAC.
Still experimenting,

I'm very impressed with my Core i3 after fixing a few important things. Have you done a similar setup for it?
It would be interesting to compare Atom D510 vs Core i3. In both case power consumption is very low. Intel plans to release a 32nm version of the Atom.
I downloaded the F9 BIOS but haven't installed it yet. What's new with F9 that you can see? I'm on F8 still.
